Core Beliefs

We believe that each student has special worth and should be honored since they are all gifted and can learn. We also believe in collaboration within our community as communication among students, parents, teachers and the community promotes positive and meaningful changes in our school. Our teachers nurture and challenge all students and use multiple approaches to engage students to learn and promote achievement through their critical thinking. We bring the community into the schools through well-designed volunteer programs, mentoring, and combining school with a selection of cultural and social service activities.
